Ipod Service could not be started

Recently someone gave me an Itunes voucher as a gift, and I decided to rent a movie. However to be able to watch this movie I would have to upgrade Itunes to the latest version - Which I did.

Then when I go to plug my Ipod in, Itunes doesn't recognise it and tells me to re-install Itunes, so I go ahead and do it.

Ever since then, which has been 3 days, I've had horrendous problems just trying to get this program to work, and its failing me for no apparent reason. I've tried re-installing and restarting the computer, deleting related programs and re-installing e.g. quicktime, I've tried running the installation with my firewall turned off, I've tried dabbling in things such as msconfig and the registry, I've tried the event viewer, I've tried looking through hundreds of messageboard posts, and honestly absolutely nothing works.

I was wondering if anyone on here has the technical expertise to assist me.

Heres the problem folks:
